More flow ?

[Rmckoy]

Thinking of adding more flow .
230 gal . 72x72x27
Currently have 1 scp 180 ( jeabo cross flow ) on one end and a cp-150 on the other both about 6” below the water pointing slightly upward and towards each other

im not 100% up to date on the newer jeabo models but considering adding 2 more round wave makers in the back pointing slightly toward the middle of the tank .
Any suggestions ?

would 2 larger models work or more smaller ones ?

MP60

for my Red Sea 750 XXL i have 1 x MP60, and 2 x MP 40's. Be careful with MP60 though, it's a beast. You need to play around with % to get it right or it can blast even some Acro's so much that they start to die. I keep the 2 x MP40's on 1 side, 1 high, 1 lower (on back side behind rocks to stir up any detritus). Is working well now.

In addition to the cross flow . I believe something of comparable size to the mp60
To be huge .
but increasing flow is my goal

Jebao slw-30 are quite capable, and small.

Size comparison to the older rw15 ?

Oh I'm not too sure about the rw15. The slw-30 is just a hair bigger than nero 5

For the last 10 years I’ve used jeabo pumps .
The first was a wp40 ( similar size to a mp40

rw 15 was a little smaller size but more output compared to the wp40

Next question .
would adding one be enough or would one on each side be as effective ?

 

[J1a]

The flow is fairly wide. But I would think a pair is a better choice.

Just ordered a sow -20

Yeah. I set mine to random, so it's not like they are pushing 100% all the time.

 

[Rmckoy]

Just added the sow 20 to the back wall pointing towards the middle .
not sure if I like it .
I’ll take a picture when I get home and open for suggestions .

 

[Rmckoy]

Thinking I need to order another for the other side .
but I’m not sure if I like it’s location

2 ow-40's would be my choice on the back wall. These pumps are smaller than the compairable flow of a Tunze 6105 and the controller is better.
Tunze 6095's would be another option as I have those and they are small and effective.
